It would be a great help.

    Norton can slow down the most powerful computers in the world and it creates incompatibility and blocks programs that you actually need (Such as firewalls). Get rid of Norton.

    Infact, Norton is known to collect viruses on your computer for their company research, you might end up with more viruses than be protected from them.

    Remove Norton ASAP and get AVG or Avira (They are free and amazing)
